When turned off the black coloured 2.5D curved glass makes the watch look quite premium. Design aside, I cannot say that about the display module. When switched on, I could immediately identify that I was using a budget smartwatch, thanks to the 1.3 inch TFT LCD 320x320 pixels) with chunky bezels on all sides.
LCD displays on a smartwatch are not as crisp as I would have wanted, especially when outdoors. They also look a bit washed out. The Redmi Watch is pretty bright indoors, but outdoors under direct sunlight, it does not manage to shine but is visible. While outdoors, I would always have the brightness levels cranked fully to level 6. Indoors, I used to keep it between levels 3 to 5. An auto-brightness feature is there, but it did not keep up to my expectations.
The 'Raise to Wake' feature worked perfectly fine, with it each time managing to capture my hand movements properly. Another feature I liked in it, that I have seen in premium smartwatches, is that you can cover the display with your palm to turn the screen off immediately.
